hi i just assembled my d16z6 vitara with bored 75.5mm spec /
when i first put it together the rods only hit the main gridle cap.
so i grind and shaved the main gridle cap a little only.

if i spin the crankshaft with everything installed the eagle H beam rods don't seem to hit the engine block.
i re spin and everything spin freely.


i called arp they said the newer ones don't need to notch the block because of the new bolts. only the gridle cap.


Everything is on block/head etc.
timing belt etc ready to be put in the car also has on the engine hoist.



is the block needed to be grinded notched??
ive already put everything but want to verify if i need to do grind block.



anyone know???

pls let me know thanks.

You don't need to notch the block, you will only need to notch the girdle

Seeing as how you already did that, your good to go

im really paranoid at this point. but anyways thanks
some people told me i had to but made me RE thinking this.
